You're Scotch-Korean, You Don't Make A Wee Bit of Sense

There was an interesting Starburst commercial I saw for the first time today.

A marketing ploy aimed at connecting contradictions with a new concept of a starburst candy being a solid, but yet a liquid.

Is being Scottish-Korean really a contradiction?

  1. I have been trying to figure that one out. How is that a contradiction??? very different countries, okay, but contradiction? i dunno...

  2. I think it's more of a "double take" than a "contradiction." In a way, it's like Americans seeing black individuals ("African-Britons"..??) speak with the King's English accent.
